Pastor’s Column May has come and gone and it leaves in its train some good records and cher ished memories. Mother’s Day was at tended more largely than ever before in the history of the church with some people unable to get into the sanctuary after the placing of extra chairs and people standing throughout the service. Sunday, May the 12th recognition was given to six splendid young people upon graduation from high school. They were Rene Riendeau, Carleton Knisley, Sandra White, Virginia Leonard and Donna Jones. Each was presented with an autographed copy of Stanley Jones’ book, Abundant Living. Graduating from Toledo Uni versity with a B. Ed. degree was Mrs. Clyde Frantz who was presented with Norman Vincent Peale’s recent book. The Power of Positive Thinking. This group while smaller than most of the previous years and only about one-third as large as last year’s group lacked not one whit in quality. They are fine and loyal youth of the church. Next year’s group will be much larger. Upton justly rejoices in its young people. Sunday, May 31, twenty-five persons with relations throughout the United States and Europe were remembered in a very impressive memorial service. As pastor and in behalf my thanks to the committees who worked so diligently and effectively in arranging and carrying out these days. They are: Mother’s Day: Mr. and Mrs. Jack Van Fleet, Chrmn., Mr. and Mrs. Harold Rig by, Mr. and Mrs. Jess Hopkins and Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Pegorsch. Graduation Day: Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

W. S. W. S. Women’s Society of World Service, to gether with the Girls’ Missionary and Girls’ Friendship Guilds as guests, met on Friday evening, June 6th in the Church Social Rooms. A few of the mothers of the girls were also guests. We were happy that each could come. A total of 43 were present. Mrs. Kuehnl, president, opened our meeting, leading in the prayer. “I Would Be True”, was sung. Reports from the various secretaries were heard. Mrs. Stock, Secretary of Missionary Education, was very elated in the fact that since she had secured twenty-one Evangel subscriptions, includ ing one new one, that our Society had made one point in growth. A few new books have been bought for the reading course. We were urged to at least get started on our course for the year. Mrs. Kuehnl reported the sending of 34 shirts, 22 rolls of bandage, 16 pairs of glasses and some extra odd lenses to the leprosy work. The Society voted to again sell Christ mas Cards.

Willing Workers The regular business and social meet ing of the Willing Workers class was held in the church social rooms, Friday evening. May 29th. Twenty-six members were present, a smaller group than usual, but maybe it being the night before a holiday was the reason. The secretary read thank you notes from Mrs. Butz, Mrs. Weist and Mrs. Ada Snyder for the flowers and cards they received while ill. Mrs. Bertha Kuehnl has invited the class to her cottage at Vineyard Lake for the Fourth of July and we hope every one will plan to go. Plans also have been made for our July class meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Orville Coder. It will be a pot luck and roast out in their yard. Mr. Robert Snyder, our class president, deserves high commendation for the good work he is doing with our class. He thinks of everything (with the help of Madge). We can not say too much for our teach er, Mr. Lugibihl and the interesting les sons he brings to us each Sunday morn ing. Our next meeting will be at the cot tage of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Huffman, Sunday, June 28, after church services. This will also be a pot luck, each one to take a covered dish. Hope you can all go. —Mrs. Harbaugh, Sec’y.

Letter From Bishop F. L. Dennis Esteemed Co-Workers in Our Church es of Ohio: I have been receiving from many per sons, some unknown to me by name, communications of sympathy accompan ied by expressions of appreciation and prayer for my speedy recovery from the illness reported by the Associated Press some two weeks ago. You are entitled to a clearer statement than was given in that connection. My hospitalization was largely a precautionary measure. The physician in Marion, Ohio, where I was having some physical difficulty, strongly advised hospitalization and a course of medicine calculated to forestall what he feared was a symptom of a coronary disease. Two days of numerous tests in the hospital failed to substantiate his fear; consequently, I was released after two days with the assurance that the heart situation, at least, is normal for a person of my age. The physician did order one week of absolute rest and be yond that, that I reduce my schedule wherever possible. I followed his ad vice in the former part and am endeav oring to reduce my schedule wherever possible. However, I am confident that it will be possible, barring unforeseen complications, to fill my Sunday engage ments including, also, the Annual Con ference sessions. As a matter of fact, I am able to report that the one week of rest has done wonders for me in giving me increased vitality and, altogether, en abling me to serve more effectively. I desire to take this opportunity to thank one and all for the prayers that were offered and for the kindly consider ation which has been shown. May God richly bless you and yours is the prayer of your Bishop. Fred L. Dennis

Evang^elical Theological Seminary Commencement 1953 Naperville, Illinois Forty-four young ministers in the Semi nary Class of 1953 were granted the degree, Bachelor of Divinity, at the Commence ment, May 4, by the Evangelical Theologi cal Seminary with eight hundred people present in the First Evangelical United Brethren Church, Naperville, Illinois. This is the largest class in the history of the in stitution which has an enrollment this year of 154 students. The Commencement speaker. Dean Wal ter G. Muelder, Ph. D., of Boston Universi ty School of Theology, gave the Commence ment address on the theme “THE NATURE OF THE CHRISTIAN HOPE.” The ad dress pointed out the basic Christian af firmation of belief in God manifest in Jes us Christ as the only sure foundation for hope. The hopeless ‘hopes’ on insecure foundations represented by materialistic communism, unrealistic utopias, and blind confidence in militarism and anachronistic nationalism were compared to the Christion hope built upon the solid foundations found in the ultimate nature of the Living God and His purpose for the human race in history. A plea was made for a real revival of the intellectual and spiritual con tent of the evangelical good news and a re discovery of the meaning of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, God active in history here and now. The message benefited by the study given the theme by the advisory committee of the World Council of Church es preparing for the third Assembly to be held in Evanston, Ill., in the summer of 1954 of which committee Dean Muelder is a member. The speaker conducted a forum in the Alumni meeting at 3:00 p. m. attended by a large and representative group of Sem inary graduates, students and friends, at the Grace Church, Naperville, Illinois. Af ter a presentation of the subject CHRIS TIANITY AS A PRINCIPLE OF COM MUNITY” the group participated in dis cussion with Dean Muelder concerning the implications of the thesis that community breaks down when communication between men and groups of men disintegrates and that the function of the Christian church is to provide the only basic and adequate ground for community in shared assump tions and convictions about the nature of the Ultimate Reality, God our Father, known to us through Jesus Christ our Lord. The practical meanings of such communi cation which permits creative community to be actualized were confronted. (Continued on Page 10)

A New Bell Ring’s In The Mountains The response to Christian stewardship expressed itself in a unique fashion within one of the Edgerton Trinity members a few weeks ago. Mr. Paul Keppeler was reading his Tele scope-Messenger one evening and read of a particular need at the Mill Creek Center branch of the Red Bird Mission, Kentucky. It seems that they had recently constructed their new church building but were in ur gent need of a bell with which to call the community to worship. The thought quick ly flashed across Mr. Keppeler’s mind as he schemed, “Why couldn’t I send them the bell that has been lying around the farm; the one that we took from the abandoned country church when we purchased it for material use.” So, immediately he wrote the mission and made his offer. Of course, they were eager to receive and thanked him for the offer. On March 27, 1953, Mr. Kep peler crated this heavy object and hauled the 840 pound bell to the freight station where he shipped it to the Mill Creek church. A letter of thanks and assurances of the arrival of the bell was received by Mr. Keppeler. It arrived on April 9th. The church was in the midst of a revival effort, so when the bell arrived they erected it temporarily so that it could be in service for that very evening. Rev. David E. Weinzierl PERSECUTION WILL COME The better a preacher lives and the timer to God he is, the more fearlessly he preaches the Gospel, and the more unselfishly he lives, the more he will be hated and perse cuted by the world. The preacher against whom no one ever says anything bad is not God’s preacher. It is not a sign that a man isn’t a Christian because he has trouble. It is one of the signs that a man is a Christian- The selfish unregenerated, un converted world is always condemned b.v the lives of unselfish consecrated Christian People. The world does not wish to be condemned. Therefore, all who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.— Fellowship News.

The speaker, Mrs. Karl Dilbone, was welcomed and presented an orchid corsage. Others receiving recogni tion and rose corsages were: Mrs. Mol ter, the oldest mother; Mrs. Lucille Bayles, the youngest grandmother; and Cindy Deitsch, the youngest daughter. Seventeen of the men and boys of the Brotherhood served a delicious meal of meat loaf, scalloped potatoes , succotash, vegetable salad, and chocolate cake. The men cleared the tables and washed the dish es which was very much appreciated. Mrs. DeVota Graham played the organ as the group gathered to the main auditori um for the program. Mildred Ransbottom presided and she. Opal Huffman, Mary Beerbower and Florence Stover were attir ed in old-fashioned costumes—through the courtesy of Mrs. Bess Smith and Mrs. Molter. Our theme for the evening was “Our Christian Heritage.” The speaker, Mrs. Karl Dilbone, was in troduced. She was bom in Czechoslovakia, but is now living in Van Wert. Margie, as her friends call her, gave a wonderful ad dress. She told her life story and inspired her audience to a deeper consecration to God and a greater appreciation of America.

There’s A Saying . . . A lot of Christians are like wheelbarrows— not good unless pushed. Some are like canoes—they need to be paddled. Some are like kites—if you don’t keep a string on them, they fiy away. Some are like footballs—you can’t tell which way they will bounce next. Some are like balloons—^full of wind and ready to blow up. Some are like trailers—they have to be pulled. Some are like neon lights—they keep going on and off. Some are like a good watch—open face, pure gold, quietly busy and full of good works.

Languag^es Spoken In Palestine AT THE TIME OF JESUS OF NAZARETH by Javan R. Corl Palestine in the time of Jesus was char acterized by a fusion of culture and social patterns. This always results in a degree of language fusion. Socially and linguis tically the country was quite heterogenous in the days of our Lord. The linguistic in fluences of the invasion of Alexander the Great was still keenly felt. The interven tion of the Romans in €3 B. C. was to have a marked effect on both the social life of e people and the language which they spoke. ^ A clue to the languages used in PalesT? found in St. o n 19:20. Here the writer is describing the inscription placed on the cross of J^nrist. He says “it was written in Herew, and Greek, and Latin.” Although the degree to which each of these languag es was used in Palestine varied greatly, in general, the languages used by the bulk of he populace of the land consisted of these three. (When the word “Hebrew” is used in verse twenty, the writer probably meeans Aramaic,” which was the language of most of the common Jews. Fuller consid eration will be given to this matter in the second article of this series.) intervention of the Romans in bd B. C., Latin was first introduced to the inhabitants of Palestine to any appreciable extent. Its use, however, was very limited. Even with Roman soldiers in Palestine some fifty-five to sixty years before the ad vent of Christ, the language had not gained much of a foothold. Latin in Palestine was the language of the Roman dwellers in the cities and the garrisons, the publicans, the soldiers and the tax collectors. It was not the language of the masses by any means. Except for its use in the names of a few coins and some military terms, Latin did not enter into the current speech of Pales tine, nor did it in any eastern province, un til the last days of the empire. One of the uses of Latin was in the publishing of offi cial decrees, in accordance with a precedent set by Julius Caesar. But this was never done, apparently, without an accompanying translation into Greek in the eastern prov inces, and in Palestine, a translation into Aramaic. In his book. The Times of Christ, L. A. Muirhead cites this example of the use of Latin from Josephus: As parallels to John xix. 20, may be mentioned from Josephus (Antiq. xiv. 10.2) the decree in favour of the appointment of Hyrcanus II as Jewish high priest, which Julius Caesar ordered the Sidonians to have inscribed on a brazen tablet in Latin and Greek, and the legend on the inner wall of the court of the Gentiles in the temple, for bidding further passage of foreigners, which was partly in Latin and partly in

THE UPTON CHALLENGER Greek (Wars. v. 5.2; vi. 2. 4i.* Edmond Stapfer says that Latin remain ed a despised tongue in the mind of the Jews, and that they did not speak it.** It is his belief tha.t the centurion and the four soldiers who were charged vdth the execu tion of Jesus were possibly the only ones to understand the Latin part of the inscrip tion on the cross. It is improbable that Jesus ever discours ed in Latin, for undoubtedly he, too, shared the common opinion toward the language. However, Alfred Edersheim feels that it is possible that Jesus understocd Latin. *** _ Even as the presence of American sol diers in Germany and Japan is not sup planting German and Japanese, so likewise the presence of Roman occupational forces never made Latin the dominate language of the Palestinian masses at any time. In the next article consideration will be given to the use of Hebrew and Aramaic. *L. A. Muirhead, The Times of Christ (Edinburgh: T. & T. Clark), p. 53. **Edmond Stapfer, Palestine in the Time of Christ, trans. Annie Harwood Holmden (New York: A. C. Armstrong and Son), p. 132ff.

TMT—Tools for Mission Teachers If a teacher is going to teach, he must have something with which to teach. Imag ine what it would be like to go to school where there were no desks or blackboards or books, or maybe even ro real school building! It would be very hard to learn. Mission teachers all over the world need materials badly. In some places they need books in the language of people learning to read through the Laubach methods—peo ple to whom printed words have until now been unfathomable mysteries! Every where they need paper and chalk and pen cils and books. When people are ready to learn, they will take whaterer is taught them. Christianity will bless the lives of those who are taught in Christian schools. Education guided by Christian principles will prevent the growth of tyranny and in justice. We must make the Christian way of life the most-lived, fastest growing way of life on the face of the earth. This is our way of doing something about world peace and brotherhood and of helping to realize God’s Kingdom on Earth. See page nine of the World Service Fund pamphlet for promotional ideas. Your Youth Fellowship or Sunday School class can provide Tools for Missbn Teachers. Money is to be sent to the YP treasurer by June 30. It is when an adverse criticism is true that it hurts—and that is when it also helps. Unless you form the habit cf doing what you know to be right you will often find yourself unable to know what to do.

Recreation and Leisure Whenever there is a need, wherever theie is a problem, God is concerned. God knows that we have need of recreation and relax ation. He made us. Our lives are as an open book to him. Our well-being is his deepest desire. When we become tired, when the toils of the day have left us depressed, when the adversary of the soul has hammered at our faith, when God’s creation in the clay of our souls has been undone, it is time for re-creation. To be made new is the purpose of recrea tion. Our leisure moments should be used for the revitalization of our souls. If we have no leisure, we must take time for re creation. The growth of our souls depends on this. There are many channels through which springs of new life may flow. Devotion, reading, music, nature, sports, are all ani mate waters. Devotion quickens us. Read ing inspires us. Music exhilarates us. Nature prompts us. Sports rouse us. Devotion is of primary importance; time set aside for Bible study, praise, and peti tion. It is in this that our souls are made keen. We are made sensitive as God in tended us to be. The shells of our hearts are broken. We are in tune with this com plex creation—through devotion. Reading is a means of recreation. Im pressions of importance, which have faded, are called to memory. New growth of in tellect is introduced. Narrowmindedness is repelled. Our Youth Fellowships have lists of books which will help us in devel oping our potential. Let’s make use of them. It would please God. Music is an artisian well flowing from the river of God’s omneity. It refreshes wearied bodies. It soothes strained nerves. It centers wandering minds. It cheers saddened hearts. It deepens shallow souls. Music is a ministry all its own. Nature is an expression of God. It is a sermon in judgment, in stability, in strength, in patience, in perserverance, in peace, in love. It we study, we gain much from nature. Sports are recreation common to all of us. They build strong bodies. They fur nish a release for stiflled emotions. They teach co-operation. These are all necessa ry to the abundant life. Recreation matters. It is not a sideline, but an inside track. If we neglect it, we know it, those about us know it, and God knows it. Are we re-created daily? WHY IS THIS THUS? You may call a woman a kitten, but you must not call her a cat. You may call her a mouse, but you must not call her a ratYou may call her a chicken, but you must not call her a hen. You may call her a duck, but you must not call her a goose. You may call her a vision, but you must not call her a sight.—Exchange.

NCC Alumni Meet At Toledo Zion The fourth annual organized meeting of NCC Alumni met on May 22 at the Zion E. U. B. church in Toledo, Ohio. Rev. Harry Shadle led us in opening prayer. Twenty alumni, friends, and fu ture students enjoyed the delicious dinner. Following the group singing led by Rev. Wendell Freshley, a short business meet ing was held. The newly elected president is Rev. Leonard Toepfer, Helena, Ohio, and the Sec.-Treas. is Miss Ruth Maurer of Gibsonburg. Our guest speaker. Dr. Harold Eigenbrodt from NCC brought us up-to-date on new facilities added to the college, the be ginning of the new library, and new faculty members.

Observation School An innovation in the program of the Bi ble Conference this year will be the in clusion of an “Observation School” which will be under the direction of Mrs. Neva Witthune Cork The school will be divided into three sections to care for the kinder garten, primary and junior children with two specially trained teachers in charge of each group. Teachers of children, child ren’s directors and superintendents of local churches are invited to observe the teaching, which will as nearly as is pos sible, be carried on in ideal situations. Following each session there will be a seminar period where all the observers will discuss the preceding period from the standpoint of methods, procedure and lesson content. The program has been ar ranged so that those who share in it will not be missing messages of vital interest to them in the Bible Conference program. The “Observation School” has come to be a most effective means of “Teaching Teachers” who are interested in doing the best work possible in the children’s departments of the church school. It is the only means by which teachers can actually see how it can and should be done and gives the opportunity for seeing for them selves the best educational methods in practice. Those who attend the Bible Con ference both ministers and laymen, are urged to bring their families in order that the school may be as large as possible. Teachers and children’s workers should plan especially to be present that they might take advantage of the opportunity of the “Observation School.” FIVE INVESTED LIVES A business man in Wales spoke to his office boy about his soul, and from thai word a work began which won his entire office force to Christ. A merchant in England determined that no.day should pass without his speaking to someone about Christ; in one year he had led scores to the MasterAn invalid Christian woman in Australia, for thirty years unable to put her foot to the floor by means of her pen and prayer led forty people to Christ in a single year.

A Sunday school teacher took one of her class of boys for a walk on Sunday after noon when the session of the school was over; she told him of her concern that he should become a Christian, and had the joy of seeing him take his stand for Christ.

Viewing* Audio-Visuals This is the very first word from your new director of Audio-Visuals for Ohio Sandusky Conference, so greetings to every reader of this paper. I realize the great responsibility which is mine as this is a rapidly growing field. I feel safe in saying that every church and Sunday school in our Conference has available to them a slidefilm projector or a motion picture machine or a record player. Our great task is to make available to them materials that will assist their teachers, class leaders or pas tors in doing a better job for Christ and His Church. Therefore we make known to them slides, filmstrips, and movies that present the best in Evangelism, Steward ship, Christian Education, Worship, and Missions. Many churches are building their own libraries of visual aids, but we can help churches large and small to have many more audio-visuals available at a cost they can afford. There are so many new things out now and they are better than first at tempts were so you will be thrilled with their use. Our hope is to have available a com plete catalogue which will let you know what is in the library and to what uses you can put it to in your program. Has your church made use of the wond erful “LEAV kit” in the training of your teachers and officers ? This Leadership Education Audio Visual kit has ten film strips with records, available for a rental fee of 50c. Our Consignment Film “More For Peace” is being used every Sunday, so we have had our time extended to August 1st. Make your date early for this Denominational Stewardship film available to our Confer ence members only on a free-will offering basis, with a $15 maximum—the local church may keep the surplus for their own audio-visual treasury. New items this month: “Everyone Likes to Eat” Filmstrip, 20 frames, black and white. Produced by Christian Rural Over seas Program for use in children’s groups, Daily Vacation Bible Schools, and Adults. 25c service charge. “The Life of Christ” by Jacques Borosin 82 frames in color, in two parts (1) Birth to Transfiguration. (2) From Transfigura tion to the Great Commission. Script for children and one for adults. The rental on this one is $1.00 per part. As you plan for Daily Vacation Bible School, we have the slide films “Planning and Conducting the D. V. B. 25c; “Some Learning Experiences” 25c and “It Can Happen In Summer” 25c rental. We have over 50 Filmslides in our library so write your needs to: Rev. Leonard C. Toepfer, Secretary of Audio-Visual Library, P. 0. Box 7, Helena, Ohio.

Among the things that don’t work is electing an indifferent church member to office for the purpose of getting him in terested.

Karr, retiring Secretary-Treas urer of the Alumni Association who has served for ten years, has given continuity to this organization which is appreciated. HE DWELLS IN OUR HEARTS The Holy Spirit is a Person. The Scrip tures make this plain beyond a question to any one who candidly goes to the Scrip tures to find out what they really teach. Theoretically, most of us believe this, but do we in our real thought of Him treat Him as a Person? Do we regard him as indeed as real a Person as Jesus Christ, as loving, as stiong, as worthy of our confi dence and love, and surrender as He is? The Holy Spirit came into this world to be to the disciples and to us what Jesus Chiist had been to rhem during the days of His personal championship with them. Is He that to us? Do we walk in conscious fel lowship with him? Yes, and better than that. He dwells in our hearts and is ready to fill them and take complete pos session of our lives.—R. A. Torrey.

Mrs. Margaret Scherer has been teach ing Joan Kerr’s class during the month of May and we want to thank her for helping us out. Our prayers are with Joan that she will soon be well and able to come back. The children have been bringing in flowers for our altar and we are very glad for them. During this month we have been talking of things that speak to us of God and flowers are the most important to them it seems. We, who work in the Primary Depart ment have been made very happy in the interest shown by so many in the church in helping to improve the looks of the Parish House. The walls have been paint ed in the colors chosen by the teachers, the drapes were washed and put up on new rods, and a lot of work we just can’t begin to tell about. We do want to say “Thanks” to each and everyone that helped. The children were very happy and it brought a lot of smiles when we told them about our clean house. We know they are proud of it too. Some of our chairs have needed repairs for a long time and Mr. Rey has been kind enough to do the job. Thanks, Mr. Rey, we appreciate what you have done. Frances Dotson, Secy. Primary Dept.
